SNOSDD6 September 2021 LM74700-EP
PRODUCTION DATA
The LM74700-EP is used with N-Channel MOSFET controller in a typical reverse polarity protection application. The schematic for the 12-V battery protection application is shown in Figure 9-1, where the LM74700-EP is used in series with a battery to drive the MOSFET Q1. The TVS is not required for the LM74700-EP to operate, but they are used to clamp the positive and negative voltage surges. The output capacitor, COUT, is recommended to protect the immediate output voltage collapse as a result of line disturbance.
